From personal experience we would recommend the Tire Rack! At least go there for reference! Your tire size alone produced 67 different offerings so to say you have an oddball size was probably more like your dealer doesn't carry as large of a selection! We have General Exclaims which were one of the highest rated tires and was also there second cheapest! No complaints here!

The exclaims are good tires, but some say they are no good in snow. I actually have them on my SS and can get around fine in the winter, but they do tend to plow the streets pretty well here... I am not sure if the OP would want to risk the snow traction as they get plenty in Wis.

I believe they charge about $50.00 to ship and no sales tax! Then you figure $20.00 a tire / wheel to mount and balance! Also we found the tire racks survey section very informative in what tires to consider and which to avoid!

Yeah probably not the best winter choice! Went back to the tire rack site and came up with 47 styles in the op'z size in all season types! Here's the link to start your search:

Thanks anyway though! As far as Tire Rack, they do have a very good selection and I'm sure they're probably a good place to buy from too. But for me, it's much easier just to get everything done in one place. Seeing as how I now live in the dorm rooms (I'm 18, just graduated from high school, starting college now) at UW-Superior, where I go to school, I don't think they'd be too happy with me for getting a shipment of tires. 
I have a mailbox, but I have to go down to the mailroom to pick up my mail, and basically, it's like a PO Box, so I don't really think it would work out for me to buy tires from Tire Rack. I'm not saying they're not any good, I'm just saying I don't think it would work for me now. Maybe in the future, though! But they are a very good reference as far as comparing different types of tires, but I just posted this to see if anyone personally has bought any of the tires I found and to see what they thought about them.

I watched "Most Expensive Rides" on HD Theater a couple of weeks ago.
They had the $650K Shelby (not Carroll) "world's fastest production car" STREET LEGAL car on that night.
SSC Ultimate Aero TT - Made In USA
I freeze-framed it when I saw the tires it comes with stock in close-up.
You'll never guess...
Here's a hint and I **** you not
